Prof. Joseph Ng asked questions that Could Hong Kong Innovate? Does Singapore more suitable than Hong Kong?

Mr. Michael Leung answered Hong Kong Can! He appreciated many young talents who had creativities. But he observed that most of them were not able to sustain.

Mr. Francis Fong told us a bad example that why Google Data Centre gave up Hong Kong? We hadn’t follow-up as a good sale. Eventhough many large IT companies such as Yahoo, Facebook had offices in Hong Kong (mainly sale & marketing), no R&D centres had set up. He agreed ITB should be established and government should do and need to focus.

Q&A Session
Some participants said Job was the key problem because of sustainability. (創業和就業是要並肩。)
